Southern California gasoline price fluctuations

Overview

Gasoline prices in Southern California, specifically in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties, experienced a period of sustained high costs following a joint U.S. and Israel attack on Iran in February. In late July, Los Angeles County saw prices hold steady at approximately $5.70 per gallon after a thirteen-day period of increases, which coincided with a rise in public transit ridership.

By early August, the downward trend began, with the region recording five consecutive days of price declines. While prices in Los Angeles and Orange counties continued to fall, they remained higher than the previous year and elevated relative to pre-attack levels. Analysts attributed the recent decreases to seasonal shifts and stabilized oil prices.
